Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 ounce) block extra firm tofu, pat dry and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar or white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce or sweet soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cubed tofu with soy sauce, sesame oil, and vinegar. Mix well to coat the tofu evenly in the marinade.
- Skew the marinated tofu onto bamboo skewers, leaving some space between each cube. Aim for 4-5 cubes per skewer.
- Lightly oil the grill pan or large skillet. Preheat it over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes until shimmering. Place the skewers in the pan, ensuring they have space between them. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy, occasionally brushing with leftover marinade.
- Prepare the peanut dipping sauce by whisking together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, water, sesame oil, and lime juice until smooth. Set it aside.
- After grilling, sprinkle sesame seeds on the skewers and serve them immediately with the peanut dipping sauce.
Notes
For a smokier flavor, consider grilling on an outdoor grill instead of a pan.
You can add your favorite vegetables in between the tofu cubes on the skewers for added nutrition and flavor.
To make it gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
